    Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Sleeve Bearings. Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings.
    Install and forget these self-lubricating bearings. All are made from porous metal and saturated with oil to reduce maintenance and downtime. A good all-around choice, they are used in everything from palm-sized fans in electronics to tire-sized pulleys. Although these bearings will work in most conditions, oil may drip away if temperatures get too high. Consider a graphite-lubricated bearing for higher temperatures or places where you can’t afford the mess. All are fabricated, lubricated, and inspected in the U.S.
    With no moving parts, sleeve bearings are the simplest way to support the load of a rotating shaft while reducing friction. Also known as plain bearings.
    841 Bearing Bronze—A classic choice for a starter pick. Also known as SAE 841 bearings.
    High-Load 863 Iron Copper—Iron makes these bearings harder, stronger, and more resistant to sudden starts and stops than 841 bearing bronze. However, they operate at slower speeds. The increased iron content makes these bearings appear silver.
    Mineral Oil Base—Mineral oil consistently lubricates at most temperatures but doesn’t last as long as synthetic oil.
    Synthetic Oil Base—A high-quality lubricant makes all the difference. Synthetic oil is less sensitive to temperature changes than mineral oil, so it won't get runny and leak away at higher temperatures.

    Our slipperiest metal bearings, these are ideal for machinery with frequent starts and stops, such as conveyors. With nonstick PTFE particles added to the oil, they reduce friction to minimize wear and heat, so equipment runs more efficiently and lasts longer. All are fabricated, lubricated, and inspected in the U.S.

    High-Temperature Graphite-Lubricated Sleeve Bearings

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Sleeve Bearings. High-Temperature Graphite-Lubricated Sleeve Bearings.
    Made of a graphite and metal alloy, these bearings stay slippery at high temperatures where oil burns off and other bearings fail. With no need for refills, they require little to no maintenance. You’ll find them in pumps, propellers, and mixers that spin near steam or inside ovens. However, graphite may eventually flake off, dropping flecks and leaving smudges. If you need a spic-and-span space, consider dry-running bearings made of slippery plastic instead. All are fabricated, lubricated, and inspected in the U.S.

    These lead-free bearings are infused with a food-grade oil that is odorless, colorless, tasteless, and safe for incidental contact with food. They’re often used in food and beverage processing, packing, and handling equipment. All are made from porous metal and saturated with oil to reduce maintenance and downtime. If you need a bearing rated for direct contact with food, consider dry-running flanged sleeve bearings for food and beverage. All are fabricated, lubricated, and inspected in the U.S.
